EQUALITIES & INCLUSION PROJECTS

A fundamental aim at Tottenham Hotspur Foundation is to ensure that all of our projects and programmes are inclusive and provide the appropriate opportunities for young people and adults across our local communities.

The Foundation creates innovative partnerships with other people focused organisations that are committed to sharing best practice and working together. We believe that partnership work is the only way that we can enable people of all ages and abilities from all communities to fulfil their potential and live within an inclusive society.

We are currently working within Equality and Inclusion partnerships that focus on supporting target groups, namely, people with learning difficulties, disabled people, people who are experiencing mental health conditions and older people.

We aim to provide opportunities that enhance people’s development and create life-changing experiences. This is achieved through the role we undertake in actively supporting the equality of opportunity, inclusion and development of people within areas such as sports and physical activity, education and training, transition and volunteering and employment.

BILL NICHOLSON BURSARY FUND:

The Bill Nicholson Bursary Scheme was created by the family of the late Tottenham Hotspur Manager, Bill Nicholson, to provide opportunities for people within the borough of Haringey to gain football and other sports coaching qualifications.

Tottenham Hotspur Foundation is proud to announce the creation of our pre-elite impairment specific Centre of Excellence and Player Development Centres, part of the Football Association's National Disability Football Talent Pathway.

We provide regular and sustainable football opportunities for athletes both with and without learning disabilities to take part in football together, focusing on matching ability levels through Special Olympics Unified Football.
